St. Lucia

Only 27 miles long and 10 miles wide, St. Lucia's high mountains and twisted roads make it seem much larger. Dominated by rainforest and the two peaks, The Pitons that rise almost vertical from the sea on the southwest coast, a visit to the island is an adventure in it self. When you then see the white sand beaches and the colors of St. Lucia's reefs, it is not hard to believe that this is paradise on earth. St. Lucia's calm waters give you plenty of time to check out that it really is. St. Lucia has a strictly regulated marine park where you are only allowed access with a dive operator. There are plans to extend marine-park to the whole coastline.
